Chess Cross Overs - A Classic Prussian War Game

There are some amazing kind of chess mutations from a few hundred years ago that i would pose a real challenge. Chess variant by johan christian ludwig helwig includes the elephant, which is a rook knight mix. The eighth player variant has two hundredfo ty pieces including the king and marshal. It's really good up to a point, but there are never enough concubines or elephants without the game not being realistic. I want to see the chess grand tas rant when he likes to have a tennis play like a broken racket - waving it at the umpire.
